Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Deaf student may not be able to graduate with teaching degree because of interpreter regulations

iamateenagefeminist:

This is taking place at my school and I am furious. Under the American with Disabilities Act any school district (with the exception of a deaf school) that hires her will have to provide an interpreter. It’s ridiculous that the school is not allowing her to have an interpreter in the classroom when she will have one while she is actually working. I will be working on legislation with the student government association to do something about this, but for the time being I think it needs some visibility.

Don’t let CMU get away with this.
